Noad Lahat Discusses His Bellator 175 Win

MMAjunkie spoke to Bellator MMA fighter Noad Lahat after his win over Lloyd Carter at Bellator 175. Below are some highlights.

Lahat’s thoughts on the fight: “I feel like he came to survive. Every time I would go to exchange, he was going backward. I’d take him down, and he was hugging me. It’s kind of hard to finish someone who doesn’t want to fight and is trying to survive. When I figured it out (in) the second round, I was like, ‘OK, that’s the game,’ and I adjusted myself and I finished it. But the first round, I kind of had to chase him a little and he was just going backward and throwing bombs. It threw me off because I’m not used to someone not coming to fight.”

Lahat on opponents falling out: “I had a few opponents fall out, and he was the last one maybe four weeks before the fight. I know when I’m good, my tools are sharp, it’s just playing adjustment – it’s all fight IQ. I have a lot of experience, and it just came out in this fight.”
